FROM CEO's DESK

Our journey at Century Pulp and Paper has always been about more than just manufacturing products; it’s about creating an impact in our industry and in the communities we serve. As we reflect I want to share a few thoughts on how far we've come and the values that drive us forward.

Driving Economic Impact
The paper industry in India is a vital contributor to the economy, providing employment to around 200,000 people and generating substantial revenue for the Indian exchequer. With India’s per capita paper consumption being only 15-16 kg, well below the global average of 57 kg, this indicates tremendous growth potential. We are poised to meet this demand, not only through volume but also by fostering a sustainable industry that benefits all.

Enabling Education and Sustainable Packaging
Paper remains an essential medium for education, aligning with one of India’s key national goals. As the world increasingly turns to sustainable solutions, the shift to paper-based packaging continues to accelerate, and we’re committed to innovating in this space to offer greener, smarter solutions for the future.

Rooted in Aditya Birla Group Values
Being part of the Aditya Birla Group, we operate with core values of seamlessness, speed, integrity, commitment, and passion. These principles have made Century Pulp and Paper one of the largest integrated paper mills, with a capacity of 500,000 tonnes annually. Our single-location setup for pulp, paper, board, and tissue products enables us to deliver a wide range of high-quality products efficiently and sustainably.

Strength in Our People
Our CPP community of 6,000 dedicated team members is our strength. They drive the quality, consistency, and innovation that our customers have come to rely on, both domestically and internationally. It is their hard work and commitment that help us achieve our goals and exceed customer expectations daily.

Commitment to Innovation
Technological advancement and innovation are fundamental to our success. Across our product range, we continue to enhance value, from specialty papers to durable board packaging and pioneering tissues in India. These innovations enable us to meet the diverse needs of our customers and strengthen our market leadership.

Sustainability at Our Core
Sustainability isn’t just a belief—it’s a commitment backed by action. This year, we completed the planting of 100,000 trees, sourced responsibly to support local farmers and in collaboration with agricultural institutes. Our focus on better resource management has led to reduced water consumption, an increase in renewable energy use, and robust waste management practices, all aimed at reducing our environmental footprint.

As we move forward, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to every member of the CPP family, our loyal customers, and our dedicated partners and vendors. Your collaboration, trust, and passion have been integral to our journey so far. Together, we are building a company that’s not only a leader in the pulp and paper industry but also a positive force for people and the planet.

Thank you for being part of this mission, and let’s continue to make a difference together.

- Ajay Gupta
